Microsoft Office Picture Manager was included as part of Office 2010 and earlier versions. You could use it to view, edit, and manage your pictures.

Office 2010 was the last version of Office that included Picture Manager and Microsoft has not updated Picture Manger since Office 2003. The program is very old and out-of-date.

But if you liked Picture Manager, and its features are all you need, you can install it on your computer without uninstalling your current version of Office. You can install Picture Manager from an Office 2010, 2007, or 2003 installation disc, if you have one. If not, you can download SharePoint Designer 2010 and install it from there.

We’ll show you where you can download SharePoint Designer 2010 and how to install only Picture Manager from it.

Download SharePoint Designer 2010

SharePoint Designer 2010 is available as a free download from Microsoft. Use one of the links below to download it.

On the Complete your Office experience screen, click Close to close the setup program.

Run Microsoft Office Picture Manager

We found that we didn’t need to reboot our computer to complete the setup. But you might want to reboot anyway just to make sure the setup process is completed.

Once you’ve rebooted, you’ll find the Microsoft Office Picture Manager under Recently added on the Start menu in Windows 10. The Microsoft Office Picture Manager is also available on the Start menu in the Microsoft Office group.

If you’re using Windows 8, the Microsoft Office Picture Manager may not get added to the Start screen. But you can do a search on the Start screen for “picture manager” to find it and open it.

Now you can use the Microsoft Office Picture Manager to organize, edit, and view your photos.

Stick With What Works for You

The Microsoft Office Picture Manager may not have all the bells and whistles available in modern photo manager tools, but if it has everything you need, you can install it and use it to manage your photos and pictures.

SharePoint Designer 2010 was the last version that included Picture Manager. You should save the installation file in case you need to reinstall it or install it on another computer. Who knows for how long it will be available from Microsoft?
